Hello everybody,

I've found this great place in Google and it seems a lot of security gurus are here. I'll buy a new car within next few weeks (Rover 600 Series car) and searching for alarm system already.

The current choice is Audiovox APS-996a. The problem is, that i'll buy a car with manual transmission and 996a is designed for automatic transmission only. The question is following: Will i be able to install it on manual transmission to get remote start function working? I always leave my car in Neutral position (and always use handbrake), so there shouldn't be a problem.

But may be some of you have any reccomendations for other alarm system which supports manual transmission? Price should be about $150 like APS-996a.

Thank you all and Happy Easter!

Thank you,

About searching it in my country... I'll buy alarm system online (as it's still cheaper including shipping costs than buying all the stuff system here).

But if i'll install 996a for example, will auto start work correctly with manual transmission?

 The 996 is a great system. I have installed several of these. Unfortunately, It is for Automatic transmissions only. Ultra Start by AST has a model designed just for Manual transmissions. They also work well.

Thanks for comments, moshpitmickey.

Could you tell me what is included in 996a package? Are there windows roll-up modules, etc?
